Paying a parking fine

You can pay a penalty charge notice online, by phone, by post or in person.

You’ll need the penalty charge notice number and the vehicle registration number when you pay. If you’ve lost your penalty charge notice, we should be able to trace it using your vehicle registration number. Ring us on 0300 1234 222 or email parking.appeals@cornwall.gov.uk.

You can’t appeal a penalty charge notice after you’ve paid it. If you want to challenge your penalty charge notice, complete our online form or write to us within 14 days.

How do I pay online?

If you’re paying after the reduced fee date, you’ll have to pay the higher fee and will need to enter that amount. Our system automatically rejects the lower fee if you’ve gone past the reduced fee date.

How do I pay by phone?

Ring our automated phone system any time by calling 0845 452 4538.

How do I pay by post?

Your payment counts as being received when it reaches our payment office – not when you post it. Allow at least two working days for first class post and five working days for second class post for your payment to arrive.

How do I pay in person?

You can pay your penalty charge at any outlet displaying the PayPoint logo or

at any branch of the Post Office.
